Landlord roof survey in West Clandon, Surrey
Find out what’s going on with the let or shared roof before you spend money on it. We carry out landlord roof surveys in West Clandon, with photographs and a clear written report.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like West Clandon, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the loft space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Book a survey
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.

Landlord roof survey in West Clandon: what you get
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. The loft space and certain flats may need to be opened up for us and residents will need to be told ahead of time. You or your agent arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. Typical surveys look at damaged pots and flaunching and cracked or lifting flashings, on gutters and downpipes, flat roofs on blocks and shared roofs.
Some older homes in villages like West Clandon are listed or in a conservation area. That can affect what materials can be used when work is done, so check with the council before planning anything. Knowing the roof’s condition helps you plan ahead with that in mind. Older materials such as clay tiles, slate and stone are frequently matched when work is done.
If any part of the let or shared roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey changes by roof type
Roof spaces and lofts
Looking inside the roof often tells us more. We check it where there is safe access, looking for staining, damp and daylight.
Party-wall upstands and parapets
We inspect the parts of a shared roof we can access and note what couldn’t be seen.
Checking the roof from the ground
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Local roofs in West Clandon
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. Clandon Park, about 1.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West Clandon. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Clandon station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter and St Paul: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you look after a building such as Clandon CofE Aided Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Questions from West Clandon
I let a flat near Clandon station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you need.
Do you cover smaller places like West Clandon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey a shared roof on a terrace or converted house?
Yes. We inspect the parts we are given access to, as far as they can safely be seen. The report records what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Confirming asbestos in older roof materials
- Walls, floors and services beyond the roof
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
